Welcome to the DataMaster™
Bluetooth®Reader System
The Rapid RH®DataMaster™, with its innovative Bluetooth®
Reader, ensures complete data integrity for the most comprehen-
sive in situ concrete relative humidity testing system available to-
day, the Rapid RH®4.0. Using innovative technologies, operators
can record and report complete testing results from each Job site
for fully ASTM F2170-compliant Job-site testing and reporting.
With the Rapid RH®
DataMaster™’s compact design, with touch-screen data record-
ing and complete Job-site records, make the Rapid RH®Data-
Master™/Bluetooth®Reader system a must for any concrete and
IMPORTANT NOTE: A DataMaster™ unit and a Bluetooth®Read-
er must be “paired” to allow communication between the two (see
the section in this manual “Pairing a Bluetooth®Reader and Data-
Master™”).
Your DataMaster™ unit and a Bluetooth®Reader combination has
already been paired at the factory, and should not require another
pairing-up process, but if you are not able to successfully acquire
readings, you may have to perform the pairing process.
It is also important to note that your
DataMaster™ is compatible with any
Bluetooth®Reader but can only be
paired with one Bluetooth®Reader at
a time.
Welcome to a new era of data integrity
concrete.

Initial Battery Charge
Your DataMaster™ requires an initial charge to have a fully oper-
able battery capacity. To charge the DataMaster™, connect the
included USB cable to the port at the base of the unit and then to
a computer USB port or AC USB adaptor (not included). Allow 2-3
hours for the initial charge.
Your Bluetooth®Reader is powered by two, AAAA batteries. The
Reader uses very little energy. Its sophisticated power-saving logic
will greatly lessen the frequency of battery replacement.

C. On/Wake-Up button (on top) F. Hard reset hole
A. Touch Screen Display: This is the convenient user interface

charging of the DataMaster™ internal battery; 2) For connecting
to a personal computer to upload sensor data to the f2170reports.
com web site.
C. On/Wake-Up button: The DataMaster™ power-saving fea-
tures include automatic screen dimming and sleep mode based
on no touch screen activity. After 60 seconds of no activity, the
screen’s backlight will dim. Touching the screen turns it back on.
After 5 minutes of no activity, the DataMaster™ will go into a low-
power sleep mode. Touching the screen wakes the unit up.
D. SD card slot: The SD card stores the data you acquire. The
DataMaster™ cannot take or store readings without an SD card in
E. External (Ambient) RH/Temp Sensor: The relative humidity
(RH)/temperature sensor monitors the ambient (room) conditions.
When you take a reading, the ambient RH and temperature are
acquired and stored with that set of readings for that Smart Sen-
sor. This information is required for correct ASTM F2170 reporting
protocol.
F. Hard Reset hole: If your DataMaster™ becomes unresponsive
(locked-up, etc.), just use a small diameter (one end of small paper
clip, for example) tool to insert and push into the hole which will
reset the unit. If you perform this reset function, you will need to
reset the Date/Time for your unit.

is available for the initial unit settings
and function.
Battery-level icons and a Bluetooth®
communication icon may appear in the
Main Menu title bar (and on some other
DataMaster™ screens as well).
The left-hand battery icon shows the last charge level indicated
for your Bluetooth®Reader. If this icon is not present, it will again
appear when you take a reading with the Reader. The battery icon
on the right-hand side is for the DataMaster™ device.
If the Bluetooth®communication icon is not present in the title bar,
this indicates the Reader is powered off. To “turn on” Bluetooth®
communication, try to take a reading in a Smart Sensor. During
this “power on” period, it can take from 3 to 7 seconds for the
Reader to initially connect to the DataMaster™, at which time the
Bluetooth®communication icon will appear in the title bar.
So long as the DataMaster™ is on, and less than 5 minutes has
elapsed from the last sensor reading, the Reader will stay “con-
nected/powered on” and the communication icon will indicate this.
The Bluetooth®Reader will turn off if left idle for 5 minutes.
If the Bluetooth®icon is in the title bar, the Bluetooth®Reader is
powered on and should take 2-3 seconds to acquire a reading. If
you don’t get a reading within 2-3 seconds when the Bluetooth®
icon is present, then you likely do not have a good connection
between the Reader and the Smart Sensor. Remove your Reader

Pairing a Bluetooth®Reader and
DataMaster™
A Bluetooth®Reader must be paired
with the DataMaster™ before you can
acquire readings. The BT Reader func-
tion pairs the DataMaster™ to a Blue-
tooth®Reader. The DataMaster™ is
compatible with any Bluetooth®Reader
but can only be paired with one Blue-
tooth®Reader at a time.
1. From the Tools menu, select BT
Reader. A new window displays
stating the device is ready to take
a reading.
2. Insert a Bluetooth®Reader into a
Rapid RH®Smart Sensor.
3. Keep the Bluetooth®
inserted into the Smart Sensor until
you hear a beep, or the Bluetooth®
Reader serial number displays on
the window. This may take up to 15
seconds.
Once the pairing is established, the
unit will return to the Main menu. If
not, you will get an error message.
Format Card
The Format Card option allows users to
format the SD card used for data stor-
age.
From the Tools menu, select Format
Card.
1. Insert the SD card into the slot lo-
cated on the left of the unit.
2. Select Format. Note: The unit will
ask you to verify that you want to
format the card. Once format is se-
lected, all exiting data on the SD
card is erased.
3. Select Format to proceed with for-
matting the SD card. Note: All ex-
isting data is erased once Format
is selected.
4. Select Format to continue, or Can-
cel to cancel the procedure.
With a successful pairing, the DataMaster™ is paired to the Blue-
tooth®Reader and available to retrieve data from any sensor as-
signed to the Job site (see Sensor Information, page 14). Each
sensor has a serial number and all data is stored according to that
number.
View Menu
The View Menu option allows users to
select and view a Job that has been
loaded into the unit from a site that has
been tested or is in the process of be-
ing tested.
1. From the Main Menu, select View.
2. Select a Job from the Select a Job
menu.
3. Select the sensor to view its data
Sensor Data
Complete sensor data is available for
each sensor assigned to a Job site.
It can be accessed through the View
Menu by selecting a Job name from the
“Select a Job” menu, the choosing the
desired sensor from the displayed list
of sensors.
